Garmin talk

I've just got US Topo 2008 and tried to install it on my nuvi550. but the southern stats were missing. Does any one know what's wrong?

Thanks

I have been working with a POI I am making for my vacation and now it won't open.
I am using Mapsource. The file starts to load and then mapsource stops working. I tried another file and it opened ok.

I tried Extra_POI Editor and the file won't open in it either.

The last time I was able to open the file I noticed the comment lines had hundreds of returns between each line. I was trying to delete these lines when it stopped working.

Does anyone know how I can save my file, or should I just start over.

Also, does anyone know why there are so many blank lines.

Thanks so much

I've owned two GPS's since 1991, both Garmins. The first was an aviation one (191, I think) at $1100 and the nuvi 200 was $200. Both were/are great units. Now I've been looking into getting one with routing, but have been discouraged by reading about all the problems the newer ones are having.

Is there anyway to save all my POI's on my sd card instead of unit memory?

Suppose I have several places I need to visit. Is there a way to to have Garmin calculate the optimal route to take?

How to enter several destinations? Let's say I want to visit A, B and C, in that order. I first enter A, then I enter B. Now Garmin asks if B is the new destination or via point. Neither is what I want. I want to go to A first, then B, then C.

Garmin Numaps Lifetime has dropped from $84.99 to $83.99 on Amazon.com. I am still waiting for one of those special $69.99 offers.

OK, I need help...I'm a route driver and have 15 different stops every day. That's 300 a month. How can i keep these days separate and saved on the garmin. Thanks for all your help

I have a 885 and I am having trouble entering the Longitude & Latitude of a location I want to go to. Can anybody help me with this?

I downloaded a vehicle icon for my Garmin Nuvi 350. It works great, but the color of the car is silver and I have a gold Scion Xb. I have tried to open the file but it has an .SRF extension I am unable to open the file much less change the color. Is there a program I can convert rthe file with? Thanks for your help

Greets All!!!! Great forum for Good quick info... I have a question on a 765T. Not sure if this has been asked before but I'm a little confused.. I recently set up my bluetooth phone without any problems. However, one of the options on the phone menu is points of interests then extras then custom pois under that it lists all catagories and all the Pois that I have downloaded off this site.

FYI: For those users who own a nuvi 885t, i just got
off the phone with Garmin Support and now it seems
the map update 2011.10 will be available by May 13,2010.
I guess its a 50/50 chance.

I have downloaded several POI's (Historic Veselsand others)
But I cannot find them on my GPS.
Most I can find such as Red light cameras and hotel chains and more.
I have tried to spell out the name and looked under all topics.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,

Does anyone here know if the nuvi 3790T would have enough internal memory in it?

I believe the 1690 has a 2GB limitation and updating maps, software and other stuffs would be a lot difficult doing it on this GPS due to limited memory.

I have a nuvi 680 with the Clear Channel setup. I have not had an opportunity to get into heavy traffic to see how it works. If I encounter heavy traffic, or an accident ahead, will the nuvi ask me if I want to detour? Or, do I have to have an avoidance such as Traffic selected in the setup menu? Just would like to know how it would work. Thanks,
Jon

I haven't found this on the Garmin website. How much internal memory do the 7x5's have? How much do the 7x0's have?

Garmin posts first quarter results....It does not surprise me...

I need to do a "COMPLETE" factory reset on my Nuvi 680. I searched the forums here and found a post that said to hold down the bottom right hand corner of the screen and then power it on and release and it would ask you "Are you sure you want to reset user data" or something to that effect.

Does anybody know how to do this after I inserted one in a route?

Thank you.

Does anyone know when the Garmin update 2011.10 will come out for the nuvi 885t?

Thanks..

Is there a way to change the alert tone on a Garmin IQue M3 M4 or M5. I am trying to use this for the proximity alert for the red light cameras.
